Frommer's Review

In the early 20th century, the Pierce-Arrow Company was manufacturing some of America's best high-end cars. It supplied wheels to the White House, the royal families of Japan and Saudi Arabia, and some of the wealthy local industrialists. Now this museum pulls together some of these behemoth autos in its huge open space, along with the bikes and motorcycles the company also made before the Depression sent it spiraling downward. The museum is still trying valiantly to raise enough money to build the only gas station designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. Built to Wright's specs, it's a filling station he designed but never realized in his lifetime.
